hardware or loss of data and tells you how to avoid the
problem.
CAUTION: A CAUTION indicates a potential for property
damage, personal injury, or death.
Safety Instructions
Use the following safety guidelines to ensure your own personal safety and to help protect
your system from potential damage. Throughout this safety section, the caution icon ( ) is
used to indicate cautions and precautions that you need to review and follow.
Safety Cautions
To reduce the risk of bodily injury, electrical shock, fire, and damage to the equipment,
observe the following precautions.
Observe and follow service markings. Do not service any product except as explained in your
system documentation. Opening or removing covers that are marked with the triangular
symbol with a lightning bolt may expose you to electrical shock. Components inside these
compartments should be serviced only by a trained service technician.
If any of the following conditions occur, unplug the product from the electrical outlet and
replace the part or contact your trained service provider:
– The power cable, extension cable, or plug is damaged.
– An object has fallen into the product.
– The product has been exposed to water.
– The product has been dropped or damaged.
– The product does not operate correctly when you follow the operating instructions.
• Keep your system away from radiators and heat sources. Also, do not block cooling
vents.
• Do not spill food or liquids on your system components, and never operate the product
in a wet environment. If the system gets wet, see the appropriate section in your
troubleshooting guide or contact your trained service provider.
• Do not push any objects into the openings of your system. Doing so can cause fire or
electric shock by shorting out interior components.
xi
D-Link DES-6500 Layer 3 Gigabit Ethernet Switch
• Use the product only with approved equipment.
• Allow the product to cool before removing covers or touching internal components.
• Operate the product only from the type of external power source indicated on the
electrical ratings label. If you are not sure of the type of power source required, consult
your service provider or local power company.
• To help avoid damaging your system, be sure the voltage selection switch (if
provided) on the power supply is set to match the power available at your location:
– 115 volts (V)/60 hertz (Hz) in most of North and South America and some Far
Eastern countries such as South Korea and Taiwan
– 100 V/50 Hz in eastern Japan and 100 V/60 Hz in western Japan
– 230 V/50 Hz in most of Europe, the Middle East, and the Far East
• Also be sure that attached devices are electrically rated to operate with the power
available in your location.
• Use only approved power cable(s). If you have not been provided with a power cable
for your system or for any AC-powered option intended for your system, purchase a
power cable that is approved for use in your country. The power cable must be rated
for the product and for the voltage and current marked on the product's electrical
ratings label. The voltage and current rating of the cable should be greater than the
ratings marked on the product.
• To help prevent electric shock, plug the system and peripheral power cables into
properly grounded electrical outlets. These cables are equipped with three-prong plugs
to help ensure proper grounding. Do not use adapter plugs or remove the grounding
prong from a cable. If you must use an extension cable, use a 3-wire cable with
properly grounded plugs.
• Observe extension cable and power strip ratings. Make sure that the total ampere
rating of all products plugged into the extension cable or power strip does not exceed
80 percent of the ampere ratings limit for the extension cable or power strip.
• To help protect your system from sudden, transient increases and decreases in
electrical power, use a surge suppressor, line conditioner, or uninterruptible power
supply (UPS).
• Position system cables and power cables carefully; route cables so that they cannot be
stepped on or tripped over. Be sure that nothing rests on any cables.
• Do not modify power cables or plugs. Consult a licensed electrician or your power
company for site modifications. Always follow your local/national wiring rules.
• When connecting or disconnecting power to hot-pluggable power supplies, if offered
with your system, observe the following guidelines:
– Install the power supply before connecting the power cable to the power supply.
– Unplug the power cable before removing the power supply.
– If the system has multiple sources of power, disconnect power from the system by
unplugging all power cables from the power supplies.
• Move products with care; ensure that all casters and/or stabilizers are firmly connected
to the system. Avoid sudden stops and uneven surfaces.
General Precautions for Rack-Mountable Products
xii
D-Link DES-6500 Layer 3 Gigabit Ethernet Switch
Observe the following precautions for rack stability and safety. Also refer to the rack
installation documentation accompanying the system and the rack for specific caution
statements and procedures.
Systems are considered to be components in a rack. Thus, "component" refers to any system
as well as to various peripherals or supporting hardware.
CAUTION: Installing systems in a rack without the front and side stabilizers
installed could cause the rack to tip over, potentially resulting in bodily injury under
certain circumstances. Therefore, always install the stabilizers before installing
components in the rack.
After installing system/components in a rack, never pull more than one component
out of the rack on its slide assemblies at one time. The weight of more than one
extended component could cause the rack to tip over and may result in serious
injury.
• Before working on the rack, make sure that the stabilizers are secured to the rack,
extended to the floor, and that the full weight of the rack rests on the floor. Install front
and side stabilizers on a single rack or front stabilizers for joined multiple racks before
working on the rack.
Safety Instructions (continued)
Always load the rack from the bottom up, and load the heaviest item in the rack first.
Make sure that the rack is level and stable before extending a component from the rack.
Use caution when pressing the component rail release latches and sliding a component into or
out of a rack; the slide rails can pinch your fingers.
After a component is inserted into the rack, carefully extend the rail into a locking position,
and then slide the component into the rack.
Do not overload the AC supply branch circuit that provides power to the rack. The total rack
load should not exceed 80 percent of the branch circuit rating.
Ensure that proper airflow is provided to components in the rack.
Do not step on or stand on any component when servicing other components in a rack.
NOTE: A qualified electrician must perform all connections to DC power and to
safety grounds. All electrical wiring must comply with applicable local or national
codes and practices.
CAUTION: Never defeat the ground conductor or operate the equipment in the
absence of a suitably installed ground conductor. Contact the appropriate electrical
inspection authority or an electrician if you are uncertain that suitable grounding is
available.
CAUTION: The system chassis must be positively grounded to the rack cabinet
frame. Do not attempt to connect power to the system until grounding cables are
connected. Completed power and safety ground wiring must be inspected by a
qualified electrical inspector. An energy hazard will exist if the safety ground cable
is omitted or disconnected.

D-Link DES-6500 Layer 3 Gigabit Ethernet Switch
Protecting Against Electrostatic Discharge
Static electricity can harm delicate components inside your system. To prevent static damage,
discharge static electricity from your body before you touch any of the electronic components,
such as the microprocessor. You can do so by periodically touching an unpainted metal
surface on the chassis.
You can also take the following steps to prevent damage from electrostatic discharge (ESD):
1. When unpacking a static-sensitive component from its shipping carton, do not remove
the component from the antistatic packing material until you are ready to install the
component in your system. Just before unwrapping the antistatic packaging, be sure to
discharge static electricity from your body.
2. When transporting a sensitive component, first place it in an antistatic container or
packaging.
3. Handle all sensitive components in a static-safe area. If possible, use antistatic floor
pads and workbench pads and an antistatic grounding strap.

Switch Installation
Installing the Switch Without the Rack
1. Install the switch on a level surface that can safely support the weight of the switch
and its attached cables. The switch must have adequate space for ventilation and for
accessing cable connectors.
2. Set the switch on a flat surface and check for proper ventilation. Allow at least 5 cm (2
inches) on each side of the switch and 15 cm (6 inches) at the back for the power
cable.
3. Attach the rubber feet on the marked locations on the bottom of the chassis.
4. The rubber feet, although optional, are recommended to keep the unit from slipping.

D-Link DES-6500 Layer 3 Gigabit Ethernet Switch
Connecting the Console Port
The switch provides an RS-232 serial port that enables a connection to a computer or terminal
for monitoring and configuring the switch. This port is a DB-9 connector, implemented as a
DCE connection.
To use the console port, you need the following equipment:
• A terminal or a computer with both a serial port and the ability to emulate a terminal
• A RS-232 cable with a female DB-9 connector for the console port on the switch
To connect a terminal to the console port:
1. Connect the RS-232 cable directly to the console port on the switch, and tighten the
captive retaining screws.
2. Connect the other end of the cable to a terminal or to the serial connector of a
computer running terminal emulation software. Set the terminal emulation software as
follows:
1. Select the appropriate serial port (COM port 1 or COM port 2).
3. Set the data rate to 115200 baud.
4. Set the data format to 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, and no parity.
5. Set flow control to
none.
6. Under Properties, select VT100 for Emulation mode.
7. Select Terminal keys for Function, Arrow, and Ctrl keys. Ensure that you
select Terminal keys (not Windows keys).
NOTICE: When you use HyperTerminal with the Microsoft® Windows® 2000
operating system, ensure that you have Windows 2000 Service Pack 2 or later
installed. Windows 2000 Service Pack 2 allows you to use arrow keys in
HyperTerminal’s VT100 emulation. See www.microsoft.com for information on
Windows 2000 service packs.
8. After you have correctly set up the terminal, plug the power cable into the
power receptacle on the back of the switch. The boot sequence appears in the
terminal.
9. After the boot sequence completes, the console login screen displays.
10. If you have not logged into the command line interface (CLI) program, press
the Enter key at the User name and password prompts. There is no default user
name and password for the switch, user names and passwords must first be
created by the administrator. If you have previously set up user accounts, log in
and continue to configure the Switch.
11. Enter the commands to complete your desired tasks. Many commands require
administrator-level access privileges. Read the next section for more
information on setting up user accounts. See the Command Line Reference on
the documentation CD for a list of all commands and additional information on
using the CLI.
12. When you have completed your tasks, exit the session with the logout
command or close the emulator program.

D-Link DES-6500 Layer 3 Gigabit Ethernet Switch
Password Protection
The DES-6500 does not have a default user name and password. One of the first tasks when
settings up the switch is to create user accounts. If you log in using a predefined
administrator-level user name you have privileged access to the switch’s management
software.
After your initial login, define new passwords for both default user names to prevent
unauthorized access to the switch, and record the passwords for future reference.
To create an administrator-level account for the switch, do the following:
1. At the CLI login prompt, enter create account admin followed by the <user
name> and press the Enter key.
2. You will be asked to provide a password. Type the <password> used for the
administrator account being created and press the Enter key.
3. You will be prompted to enter the same password again to verify it. Type the
same password and press the Enter key.
4. Successful creation of the new administrator account will be verified by a
Success message.
User names and passwords can be up to 15 characters in
length.
The sample below illustrates a successful creation of a
new administrator-level account with the user name “newmanager”.
NOTE:
Passwords are
case sensitive.
DES-6500:4#create account admin newmanager
Command: create account admin newmanager
Enter a case-sensitive new password:********
Enter the new password again for confirmation:********
Success.
DES-6500:4#
NOTICE: CLI configuration commands only modify the
running configuration file and are not saved when the switch
is rebooted. To save all your configuration changes in
nonvolatile storage, you must use the save command to copy
the running configuration file to the startup configuration.

D-Link DES-6500 Layer 3 Gigabit Ethernet Switch
SNMP Settings
Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is an OSI Layer 7 (Application Layer)
function designed specifically for managing and monitoring network devices. SNMP enables
network management stations to read and modify the settings of gateways, routers, switches,
and other network devices. Use SNMP to configure system features for proper operation,
monitor performance and detect potential problems in the switch, switch group or network.
Managed devices that support SNMP include software (referred to as an agent), which runs
locally on the device. A defined set of variables (managed objects) is maintained by the
SNMP agent and used to manage the device. These objects are defined in a Management
Information Base (MIB), which provides a standard presentation of the information controlled
by the on-board SNMP agent. SNMP defines both the format of the MIB specifications and
the protocol used to access this information over the network.
The DES-6500 supports the SNMP versions 1, 2c, and 3. You can specify which version of
the SNMP you want to use to monitor and control the switch. The three versions of SNMP
vary in the level of security provided between the management station and the network
device.
In SNMP v.1 and v.2c, user authentication is accomplished using ‘community strings’, which
function like passwords. The remote user SNMP application and the switch SNMP must use
the same community string. SNMP packets from any station that has not been authenticated
are ignored (dropped).
The default community strings for the switch used for SNMP v.1 and v.2c management access
are:
public - Allows authorized management stations to retrieve MIB objects.
private - Allows authorized management stations to retrieve and modify MIB objects.
SNMP v.3 uses a more sophisticated authentication process that is separated into two parts.
The first part is to maintain a list of users and their attributes that are allowed to act as SNMP
managers. The second part describes what each user on that list can do as an SNMP manager.
The switch allows groups of users to be listed and configured with a shared set of privileges.
The SNMP version may also be set for a listed group of SNMP managers. Thus, you may
create a group of SNMP managers that are allowed to view read-only information or receive
traps using SNMP v.1 while assigning a higher level of security to another group, granting
read/write privileges using SNMP v.3.
Using SNMP v.3 individual users or groups of SNMP managers can be allowed to perform or
be restricted from performing specific SNMP management functions. The functions allowed
or restricted are defined using the Object Identifier (OID) associated with a specific MIB. An
additional layer of security is available for SNMP v.3 in that SNMP messages may be
encrypted. To read more about how to configure SNMP v.3 settings for the switch read the
next section, Management.
Traps
Traps are messages that alert network personnel of events that occur on the Switch. The
events can be as serious as a reboot (someone accidentally turned OFF the Switch), or less
serious like a port status change. The Switch generates traps and sends them to the trap
recipient (or network manager). Typical traps include trap messages for Authentication
Failure, and Topology Change.
7
D-Link DES-6500 Layer 3 Gigabit Ethernet Switch
MIBs
Management and counter information are stored by the switch in the Management
Information Base (MIB). The Switch uses the standard MIB-II Management Information Base
module. Consequently, values for MIB objects can be retrieved from any SNMP-based
network management software. In addition to the standard MIB-II, the Switch also supports
its own proprietary enterprise MIB as an extended Management Information Base. The
proprietary MIB may also be retrieved by specifying the MIB Object Identifier. MIB values
can be either read-only or read-write.
IP Address Assignment
Each Switch must be assigned its own IP Address, which is used for communication with an
SNMP network manager or other TCP/IP application (for example BOOTP, TFTP). The
switch’s default IP address is 10.90.90.90. You can change the default Switch IP address to
meet the specification of your networking address scheme.
The switch is also assigned a unique MAC address by the factory. This MAC address cannot
be changed, and can be found from the initial boot console screen – shown below.
Figure 2 - 3. Boot Screen
The switch’s MAC address can also be found from the Web management program on the
Switch Information (Basic Settings) window on the Configuration menu.
The IP address for the switch must be set before it can be managed with the Web-based
manager. The switch IP address can be automatically set using BOOTP or DHCP protocols, in
which case the actual address assigned to the switch must be known.
The IP address may be set using the Command Line Interface (CLI) over the console serial
port as follows:
1. Starting at the command line prompt, enter the commands config ipif System
ipaddress xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/yyy.yyy.yyy.yyy. Where the x’s represent the IP address
8
D-Link DES-6500 Layer 3 Gigabit Ethernet Switch
to be assigned to the IP interface named System and the y’s represent the
corresponding subnet mask.
2. Alternatively, you can enter config ipif System ipaddress xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/z. Where
the x’s represent the IP address to be assigned to the IP interface named System and
the z represents the corresponding number of subnets in CIDR notation.
The IP interface named System on the switch can be assigned an IP address and subnet mask
which can then be used to connect a management station to the switch’s Telnet or Web-based
management agent.
Figure 2 - 4. Assigning the Switch an IP Address
In the above example, the switch was assigned an IP address of 10.42.73.204 with a subnet
mask of 255.0.0.0. The system message Success indicates that the command was executed
successfully. The switch can now be configured and managed via Telnet and the CLI or via
the Web-based management.
Connecting Devices to the Switch
After assigning IP addresses to the switch, you can connect devices to the switch.
To connect a device to an SFP transceiver port:
1. Use your cabling requirements to select an appropriate SFP transceiver type.
2. Insert the SFP transceiver (sold separately) into the SFP transceiver slot.
3. Use the appropriate network cabling to connect a device to the connectors on the SFP
transceiver.
NOTICE: When the SFP transceiver acquires a link, the
associated integrated 10/100/1000BASE-T port is disabled.

Introduction
All software functions of the DES-6500 can be managed, configured and monitored via the
embedded web-based (HTML) interface. The switch can be managed from remote stations
anywhere on the network through a standard browser such as Netscape
Navigator/Communicator or Microsoft Internet Explorer. The browser acts as a universal
access tool and can communicate directly with the Switch using the HTTP protocol.
The Web-based management module and the Console program (and Telnet) are different ways
to access the same internal switching software and configure it. Thus, all settings encountered
in web-based management are the same as those found in the console program.
Login to Web Manager
To begin managing your Switch simply run the browser you have installed on your computer
and point it to the IP address you have defined for the device. The URL in the address bar
should read something like: http://123.123.123.123, where the numbers 123 represent the IP
address of the switch.
NOTE: The Factory default IP address for the switch is
10.90.90.90.
